Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owner was very nice. We checkin quite late (7:30pm) and the restaurant was still open on boxing day. Once we are in the room, the hair dryer didn't work and the owner was able to give us another dryer at 10:15pm. The room condition is clean and was in good condition. 5 of us stay in the 2 bedrooms studio, plenty of towels and they even gave us 2 bathroom mats, 5 face washers. I have not been to motels that provide face washer towels. The river is stunning and we enjoyed our 1 night stopover stay very much.
